ABOUT PRODUCTID 19512
This vase, crafted from pressed transparent glass, features a cool, colorless clarity and a gleaming, glossy surface. Its structure is defined by a broad, flattened body with gently rounded sides tapering smoothly toward the base. The tactile and visual character emerges from an array of evenly distributed raised 'bubbles,' creating a dynamic relief—an effect reminiscent of an asteroid’s or the moon’s craters.

Every detail, from the pronounced texture to the thoughtfully proportioned form, is original and fully consistent with the spirit of the era. The condition is very good—there are no chips, cracks, or discolorations. The vase has not undergone repairs or restoration; its pristine, clear surface is intact.The vase expresses the optimistic spirit of the 1970s, a decade intrigued by both the unknowns of outer space and the possibilities of experimentation with materials. Its bubble-like relief and boldly geometric shape reflect the modernist Polish fascination with futuristic and cosmic references. Light dances across its transparent surface, refracting through each raised detail as if echoing crystalline ice or meteor fragments. In this way, the piece tells the story of an era when utility embraced sculptural ambition and design became a dialogue between artistry and innovation.One might pair this vase with contrasting textures—displayed on an oak sideboard or atop a woolen rug, the interplay between glass and organic materials brought to the fore. The vase would complement minimalist or collector’s interiors, and could be arranged alongside 1970s ceramics or architectural houseplants to emphasize the interplay of light and material. In a mid-century modern setting, it could serve as a centerpiece for a table or sideboard, while in an eclectic space,
